[QUOTE="Daniele, post: 92756, member: 3920"] Hi everyone, I would like to know your opinion about training in private practice vs in-house. I have worked in-house for a few years as a paralegal and I now have a chance to train in a venture capital firm in London. It would be a lot of specialized private equity/asset management work. I love this field since you get to work directly with start-ups and entrepreneurs, but I am wondering if this would be the right decision to make considering I would not explore different areas as it happens with the different seats in a law firm. On the upside, the quality of training would be incredible since I would be working directly with the Chief legal officer, who previously was a senior associate at Allen & Overy (private equity), and another Legal counsel previously also working in a law firm. The way venture capital firms are structured would also mean quality work on deals in a similar fashion to that in private practice. The only doubt I have is that I wouldn't explore different areas so I would be probably "stuck" in this sector going forward. In addition to that, it might be harder to move to private practice as an associate later on. Any ideas? Thank you all in advance. Daniele [/QUOTE]
